Turkish Wome n at Home.

The women are utterly irrespon sible
beings in their husbands eyes, and the Y
are treated in mos. ways like little child
rem; provided for comfortably, fed,
clothed and amused, but not educated.
While naturally docile and intelligent,
they become shrewish through the ignor-
ance in which they are kept. They are
generous with that unthinking generous
ity that causes child to give away the
most expensive toy, not knowing the cost.
A Turkish woman will at any moment, if
the caprice seizes her, give away her
finest Jewels Their hospitality is too
we'll known to require mention. They
always have coffee and sweetmeats served
for any and all guests, and when they feel
that the visit has lasted long enough they
clap their hands, and the caffejee brings
second cup Of coffee, and that is the
signal. No guest can stay longer than to
drink this. Sometimes the time between
drinks is decidedly short.
The women and children do not I'M
dress at night, but add wadded night
robe to the clothes they already have en-.
and sleep thus summer and winter. They
close all the doors and windows, and
sleep several in one room, and doubtless
would suffer dreadfully from the confined
air, were it not that Turkish carpenters
never have heard eff the plumb line, and
so windows and doors all have crevices
which supply ventilation. The tales of
Oriental magnifcence fail to impress one
who has visited the best harems, for they
are one and all pictures of dirt and wanton
exiravagance. The only great display is
in the amount of rugs and jewelry. On
the f1oOrs of the general room for The
women, or the private suites, it is always
the same-eigarette ends, candies, nut
shells, necklaces, gold embroidered slip
pers and sashes, and, in short. all sorts of
disorder and dirt. And the women are
always eating, smoking, or lolling about
on the divans. Brooklyn Magazine.

FIRST LoVE.

with sun kissed hair, she's more than fair,
This early love of mine.
Her rounded cheek the rich blooms seek
A hue of rosy wine.
Her star-lit eyes in azure guise
Are modest, true and good;
Unknown to storm her sylph-like form
Buds lovely womanhood.
Like softest balm Of Spring-time calm
From out the blossoms shed,
That floating steals DER sun-lit fields
When Springs to Summer wed,
Loves gentle sway grows day by day,
Dawning on my spirit,
A clear soft strain and strange, sweet pain
That serves but to endsar it,
Ny heart awakes Its slumber breaks
To breathe in this new life,
And gladly greets the wondrous sweets
With strange emotions rife.
Upon the earth there's nothing worth
First loves beauteous dover;
Repulse again, receive. and then
Kneel unto its power.

DIR, Talmage's First Cigar.

The time had come IN my boyheod
which thought demanded of me a capa-
city TO smoke. The old people of the
househould could abide neither the sight
nor the smell of the Virginia weed. When
ministers came there, not by positive in
junction, but by sort ofinst'nct as to what
would be safest, they whitfield their pipe
on the back steps. IL the house could not
stand sanctified smoke, it may be imagined
how little chance there was for adolescent
cigar putting.
BY some rare good fortune which put
in my hands three cents. | found access
to tobacco store. AS the lid of the long,
narrow, fragrant box opened, and for the
first time owned cigar, my feeling of
elation, manliness, superiority and antici
patton can scarcely be imagined, save by
those who have had the same sensation.
When | put the cigar to my lips, and
stuck a lucifer match TO the end of the
weed, and commenced to pull with an
energy that brought every facial mnscle
to its utmost tension, my satisfaction with
this world was as my temptation was
never to want to leave it.
The cigar did not burn we'll. 1t re-
quired an amount of suction that tasked my
determination to the utmost. 70 see that
my worldly means had limited me to
quality that cost only three cents. But
had been taught that nothing great was
accomplished without effort. and so pull
led away. Indeed, | heard my older
brothers in their Latin lessons say, on.nia
uiraci labor; which translated means, if you
want to make anything go, you must
scratch for it.
With these sentiments, Ipassed down the
village street, and out toward my country
home. NV head did not feel exactly right,
and the street began TO rock from side TO
side, so that it became rather uncertain to
me which side / was on. So crossed
over, bat found myself on the same side
that ] was on before | crossed over In
deed, imagined that was on both sides
at the same time, and several fast teams
were driving between. met another boy,
who asked me why / looked so pale, and
told him that l did not look pale, but that
he was pale himself. After some further
walking, | sat down under the bridge
near my house and began to reflect on the
prospect of early disease, and on the I'M
certainty of all earthly expectations. |
had determined to smoke the cigar all up,
and thus get the full worth of my money,
but was finally obliged TO throw three
fourths of it away. knew, however, ex-
actly where I threw it, in case | should
feel better the next day.
Getting home, The old people were
frightened, and demanded or me an ex-
PLANTATION as to my absence and the rather
whitish color of my complexion. Not
feeling that was called to go into par
ticulars, and not wishing to increase my
parents apprehension that Twas going TO
turn out badly. summed up the case
with the statement that | felt miserable
at the pit of the stomach. Mustard plas-
tiers were Immediately administered, and l
received careful watching for some hours.
Finally, fell asleep, and forgot my dis
appointment and humiliation in being
obliged to throw away three fourths of
my first cigar.-T De Wit Talmage.

How Grandfather Hickman Paid His
Trusted Physicians Bill.
Many of the old readers of the Re-
porter will remember DR.. Bigelow, q
noted physician who practiced in the
lower end of this valley some sixty
years ago, when cheating had not been
thought of or introduced as Yankee
invention. DR.. Bigelow's practice ex-
tended over half the valley, for he was
a physician who understood his BUSH
ness and always minded his own
business, which rendered him inn
mensely popular. Among the families
attended by him was the well-known
Hickman family, grandfather of the
present Heclmans in our valley, and in
whose noble breast there lurked no mo-
tive of dishonesty. DR.. Bigelow
having made up his mind to leave
Pennsylvania and locate elsewhere he
began to call upon those who owed him
for settlement, as he had habit of let
ting the honest old farmers have their
own time about it. Coming to Father
Hickman he told him he intended
moving away, at which the old gentle
man expressed his regret, adding that
he hoped the doctor would make out
his bill before moving, so he could pay
him. The doctor replied that his
bill was seventy-fve dollars. At this
the old patriarch rose from his chair,
seized his cane and went, not for the
doctor but upstairs, presently returned
with sack which contained about a
peck of silver coin and emptied the
jinglers on the table with the remark:
'Now, doctor, whatever your bill is just
take it out of that pile" "Oh, nc"
said the doctor, 81 want you to count
it out" "No, no." said Hickman,
"you count it, doctor; you know best
when you have enough" The physi-
clan counted out his seventy-iive dol
lars, when the farmer again insisted he
should be sure he had enough. After
minutes change of conversation,
Grandfather Hickman again went at
Bigelow with: "Now, doctor, if you
haven't got enough, go to the pile there
and help yourself "-Center HG!l (Va.)

Why an Artist Turned Perfectly Green with
Wrath and Horror.
An eminent French art collector once
bought in Paris a landscape by a noted
"impressionist" which he showed, with
much pride in his purchase, to an artist
friend.
"But l think" quoth he, "that the
picture lacks animation--it wants per-
sonages. Now if you would paint for
me a man or woman on that road that
runs through the middle of the land
scape, it would greatly improve the
picture"
THAT is easily done, "said the artist,
so he carried off the painting, and sent
it back in a week or two with a figure

market with her basket and her red
umbrella introduced on the road in

after with the 'impressionist'' who had
painted it, the artist remarked II had

"Down the road? l remember no
work of mine with a road in it. l
should like to see the picture and Judge
of the effect of your alteration"
So the artist carried him off to M.

Guns For SayageS.

The rapidity with which the use cf fire.
arms is spreading among the savage peo-
pies shows more forcibly than any thing
else the great changes that are following
in the wake of the explorer. Many thou
sands of natives in the heart of Africa,
who in the days of Speke and Baker
knew no weapons except the bow and ar
row and lance now have their chiep mus
kets and ample supplies of ammunition,
brought to them from Zanzibar by large
Arab caravans. Emin Pasha is surround
ed by tribes who have discarded their
own arms for the weapons of the white
race. The fact that guns are being SO
extensively introduced into Africa might
before this have had marked and disas-
trous effect upon some of the white en-
terprises were it not that none of the
tribes of equatorial Africa has yet learned
to make potent use of their new weap-
ons.
Stanley tells Of the wild, aimless and
harmless firing of the Zanzibaris, who
have handled guns for years. Baron Won
Schewerin says that the Congo natives,
who are buying guns by the thousand,
keep their powder to add to the noise OF
festive occasions and still use the assegais
and arrows in warfare. This is not sur
prising when it is remembered that they
are skilled in the use of their native
weapons, while guns in their hands, like
Fourth of July toy cannons, are little
more than dangerous playthings. The
Congo State does not permit the importa-
tion of percussion or other improved FIRE
arms, and the natives are able to buy on
ly flntlocks, made in England specially
for the African trade.
Lieutenant Kund describes Congo
tribe whom he regards as remarkably
skilled in the use of the bow and arrow
At distance of sixty PAGES he saw them
bury their arrow heads side by side IL
the trunk of a tree. The two famous
dwarf tribes of the Congo basin are noted
hunters, and do not hesitate to attack the
elephant or the fercest game of the jun
giles with their arrows and lances. Mr
Flegel tells of two Niger tribes who are
usually at war. Though one of them Is
armed with bows and arrows while The
other uses guns, the tribe which relies or
the native weapons is almost always vic
orious."-New York Sann.

ZOtO
This cry aboHt there being an excess of
Democratic soldiers is made with mani
fest dishonesty, by our Democratic
friends. They know that they have one
ground upon which to base their claim.
Speaking abstractly, the Democratic sol
diers vastly outnumbered the Republican,
or Union, soldiers, in that eoe1y ConfedeT-
ate soldier aOGs O. Democrat! Thus all of
one side, and part of the other, were DEM
ocrats- The fact that the vote does not
show it is due to the Democrats on one
side voting for Jeff Davis, and the Demo-
Gratis on the other side throwing away
their votes on copperheads, like McClel-
Ian, while cheering on their Southern
brethren. IF we were Democrat, we
should be heartily ashamed ever to men
tion this soldier business. When they
talk about the Union army having a ma
jority of copperheads, they lie, and the
brazen part of it is that every intelligent
man knows it,

about how much truth there is in the
